I have downloaded the controller firmware update 3.35, mine has 3.27. I wanted to install this latest release because it has a simple polar alignment routine in it.

My problem is I don't have an RS232 coms port on my laptop. I tried to use my Nexus-S which is a wifi -RS232 connection and is used to run the controller commands from my Android tablet via wifi (the tablet is not being used for the firmware upgrade just the laptop) . The laptop connects to the Nexus-S and I get a good wifi link to it. I downloaded TCP2COM and Com2TCP to the laptop in an effort to create a tunnel from my laptop to the handcontroller. It seems to connect in one direction, but not the other, and I can't get the Loader to see the HC version number.

ANyone have any advice on how to upgrade the HC without an RS232 physical port on your laptop?
